Every single Israeli soldier who crosses the border of 1967 is enforcing an illegal occupation, ethnical cleansing, genocide. They are without exception war criminals, and we must never forget their crimes. We must do everything possible to bring them before justice.

Here are some officers of the IDF and other Israeli armed forces who are known to have murdered Palestinians, and contributed to or committed directly or indirectly acts which qualify as crimes of war, crimes against humanity, genocide, ethnic cleansing ...

If you have pictures, documents or other verifiable information of these or other individuals belonging to the IDF which could help in securing arrest warrants against them in any jurisdiction, please contact me.

I hope that these individuals will be on their way to The Hague sooner or later.

Aviv Reshev

On July 7 2010, Lieutenant colonel Aviv Reshef (or Reshev) received his new post as a representative of the IDF murderers in tanks, the so-called “Ground Forces Command GOC” at the state of Virginia with the US Army (TRADOC).

Reshef is an ultra-extremist Haredi religious IDF officer, he was a commander in the 2006 war in Lebanon, in Gaza, in Hebron, he is an Apartheid Wall constructor and a former brigade commander of military headquarter at Beit El in Ramallah in the West Bank.

Brigadier means that Reshef was the officer in charge and responsible for the criminal operations of the IDF, Police, intelligence, Shin Bet, death squads, “civil” administration armed personnel in military uniform, DCl, DCO, border police and squatters colonies affairs during the last two years in the region of Ramallah, the central headquarter of the Palestinian authority.

He is responsible for all the crimes which happened in the territories under control of his brigade during the last six years in Ramallah, in Gaza as brigade “Operations Branch” division, and in the West Bank as a deputy commander of the Nahal in 2002.

During the last two years of the Reshef command in Ramallah, he was in charge of constructing the apartheid wall around city, of confiscating Palestinian lands, murdering Palestinians and jailing peace activists, sending death squads to operate in the center of Ramallah which is nominally under PA power, and of leading a campaign of violence against foreigner peace activists in Bilin, who hold weekly demos against the construction of the apartheid wall which the International Court of Justice (ICC) has already demanded Israel to remove, and which issued a decision in April 2004 which deemed the wall to be in violation of international law.

On Tuesday July 29 2008, Ahmad Husam Yousef Musa, 9 years old, was shot by Reshef's soldiers in Nilin.

The child was hiding behind an olive tree when Reshef’s soldiers driving by in a Jeep saw him. One of them jumped from the jeep, stood at a distance of 50 meters, aimed his rifle at Ahmad and shot a bullet in his head.

The bullet entered Ahmad’s forehead and exited through the back of his skull._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yossef Amira was shot on July 30 2008. Reshef's soldiers murdered another Palestinian child, Yossef Amira, 17 years old, while standing near his home in Nilin.

The IDF soldiers murdered Yossef while they were shooting at peace activists during a demo against the apartheid wall in the village.

Reshef was among his soldiers during the murder of Amira.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Motaz Al-Khawaja 10 years old. On January 1 2010-08, Reshef’s soldiers shot the child Motaz Al-Khawaja, a student in the fourth class of primary school in Nilin. The child said: “I was alone when I saw that the soldier “border police” approached me. I ran away.

The soldier shouted at me, saying: “stop or I will shoot you!” I continued running, and I heard that the soldier fired a number of shots. I felt dizzy and fell on the floor. I put my hand on the back of my head and looked again; I saw my hand filled with blood”. Motaz was hospitalized and recovered, but he still suffers from pain, headache and depression.

Ashraf Abu-Rahma, 27, a Palestinian resident of Nilin and well known peace activist. He was captured by Aviv Reshef company commander lieutenant-colonel Omri Burberg. Abu Rahma was shot on July 7 2008 while he was handcuffed and blinded. Lieutenant-colonel Omri Burberg was holding his arm.

Military order No. (06/08/T) military order No. (06/08/T). The military order was issued on April 16 2008 by the “Central Commander” Gadi Shamni and under orders of the former Brigadier of Ramallah Col. Amir Abulafia. The military order announced the confiscation of 18.9 dunums of agricultural land located in the basin No. 9 in the sites Al-Joros, Aqabet Bear Renn and Baten Al-Jaher.

The military order did not indicate the purpose of the confiscation. The order was issued after a declaration of the Israeli war criminal Ehud Barak on March 7 2008 in which Barak stated that he issued a military order to convert the colony of “Modi'in Illit” into an Israeli city on the occupied Palestinian land and that he wanted to open a University in the colony.

The Modi'in Illit squatter colony was established in 1991 and is located 8 km north-west of Jerusalem, and the new and illegal borders are now known as the boundaries of the “Modi'in Illit” colonies.

Five squatter colonies occupied by 40,000 American, European and Ethiopian zionist jews. It is the largest jewish colony in the Palestinian territories. Under the command of Reshef it was clear that the confiscation of the Palestinian land serves the plan of Ehud Barak, the so called “defense minister”.

It was for the establishment of a crossing, the so-called “Kiryat Sefer” crossing on the territory of Nilin. The crossing serves the boundaries (five colonies) of Modi'in Illit. Reshef confiscated 60 dunums instead of 18.9 dunums mentioned in the military order.

This is a war crime and criminal theft, even a violation of the fascist military law. Before that, the IDF central command had confiscated 2500 dunums of Nilin’s land to build the apartheid wall. The length of the Apartheid Wall in the village of Ni'lin is 8.7 km and it separated and looted of 5883 dunums (40% of the lands of the village) from their owners, inhabitants of Nilin. Nilin Village.

Colonel Dror Weinberg was the son of a German Jewish family who immigrated to Israel. He was a commander of the paratroopers who did most of his military service in the general staff's elite special operations force. His command posts began when he served as commander of a Sayeret Matkal (death squads) team. He was the general staff's elite terror operations force involved in murdering many innocent Palestinian civilians in their homes in the West Bank. He served as commander of a paratroopers' battalion, commander of an elite Maglan unit and commander of an elite reserves brigade.

1996 he was an officer in Hebron on the hills of the Palestinian Abu Sneineh.

In June 2001 he was appointed commander of the Hebron brigade.

Weinberg's command posts began when he served as commander of a Sayeret Matkal team. He was an extremist settler graduated from the Yeshiva of Rabbi Kook, the most criminal and racist Yeshiva school in the world. Rabbi Kook proposed that non-jews are qualitatively "below cattle" when compared to Jews. Rabbi Kook's Yeshiva

He lived in the Kiryat Moshe with his religious wife Hadassah and their six children Yoav, Yael, Eitan, Yishai, and Uri (the sixth one not yet born when he died). Weinberg served in the South of Lebanon and in the West Bank.

Weinberg was 38 when he died. He was one of the worst commanders in the Israeli army to serve in the West Bank and in my homeland Hebron. Under his authority and protection the settlers stole most of shops in the old market. The people were prevented from walking in Al-Shuhada Street. He ignored the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian who lived in the old city. Under his rule I was thrown out of my homeland. The Palestinians infrastructure in Hebron was destroyed under his rule, many children, old and youth were murdered by his snipers.

Weinberg was a religious extremist, and judging by what he did in Hebron, a cruel and sadistic monster. He was also a coward. According to colleagues with whom he made a tour of service in southern Lebanon, he crashed a jeep because he panicked because of the shadow of a rock at night.

On the Friday evening of 15 November 2002, Dror Weinberg was killed together with other twelve Israelis. Weinberg was killed by the Al-Jihad resistance in Hebron during an exchange of fire. Weinberg was protecting Jewish settlers who were on their way back to Kiryat Arba'a after vandalizing Palestinian property in the old city, in a neighbourhood which had lived under continued curfew for several months. He was buried in the Kfar Sava military cemetery near where he had grown up.

Ilan Paz Paz lives near Haifa, in the Kerem Maharal, (the name of the Jewish settlement that was established on the site of Ijzim, a Palestinian village before 1948) on the Eastern slopes of the Carmel mountain range.

Paz committed numerous war crimes against humanity during his time with the IDF. He is now retired.

He is a former brigade commander in Jenin.

The War criminal Paz graduated from the Ecole Militaire in France.

From 1996 - 2002, Ilan Paz was a Brigade Commander in the occupied West Bank.

Ilan Paz On 30/3/2002 Paz ordered the invasion and ransacking of Ramallah. The IDF cornered PA security forces in the Al-Tabun building in the center of Ramallah. After they were disarmed and handcuffed, IDF personnel under the orders of Ilan Paz rowed them up against the wall of the building and shot them while they were kneeling, facing the wall. During this incident hundreds of inhabitants of Ramallah were arrested and jailed without charges, all Palestinian shops in the center of Ramallah were looted by by the Israelis, the building of the Union of Commerce in Ramallah was set on fire by the IDF under orders of Paz.

The bodies of the people who were murdered by the troops under the command of Ilan Paz could only be recovered after they had decomposed so much that most of them they could not be identified. They were buried in a common grave before the hospital of Ramallah.

Victims murdered by Ilan Paz or personnel under his command during this incident who could be identified areKhaled Awad Al-Allah age of 30, Ismael Theib age of 56, Said Mahdi the age of 60, Abed Al-Rahman Abed Al-Allah the age of 58, Omar Muhammad Musa of age 54.

Further victims of the ransacking of Ramallah under Ilan Paz who were buried on 2/4/2002:Sussien Al-Ashqar age of 37, Saridah Abu Garbyeh age of 30, Fare'a Ali Dragmeh age of 23, Omar Abed Al-Hamid Hamayel age of 43, Jamal Mahmoud Abed Al-Salam age of 35, Nader Abed Al-Latif Asa'ad of age of 33, Morad Awausa age 33, Ayyoub Abu Mslam age of 40, Muhammad Husni Mrouh age of 33, Shaher Abu Sharar age of 33.

In April 2002, Ilan Paz commanded the operation in which Marwan Barghouti was apprehended.

Paz is known among the illegal Jewish colonists in the areas surrounding Ramallah as 'Binyamin' because he was a commander of the Binyamina Brigade.

From 1978 - 1995, Paz served as a deputy in the Naval Unit, and he was a former commander of Air Force special Unit and "anti-terror compact", death squads "Mustariven" working under cover within the IDF in the Palestinian cities and towns in the middle of the civilians.

Paz himself murdered numerous Palestinians in the West Bank cities. He is involved in many murders against the civilian populations in the territories and as well in the neighbouring Arab countries.

Ilan Paz invented and put in place the criminal system of illegal checkpoints all over the West Bank between and inside the Palestinians villages, and he also invented the discriminatory road regime which restricts the movement of the Palestinian vehicles on the roadways.

Since he headed the occupation , the Palestinians in the West Bank have been denied freedom of movement between the Palestinian cities, towns and villages, and inside them as well.

Under the command of Paz, the road block which separates Ramallah from East Jerusalem was put in place. He also put in place the infamous the Qalandia "checkpoint", which effectively cuts the West Bank in two halves and has become part of the apartheid wall.

Paz was released from the Civil Administration in June or July, 2005.

Currently (April 2008) Paz works on projects " political, defence and economic " connected with the Palestinians. He has allied with other Israeli criminals tired of being on the front lines of their genocide against Palestinians in "The Council for Peace and Security" in Ramat Hasharon, in what can be qualified as a project for milking European Union funds and serving as a cover for his 28 years long career of perpetrating crimes against Humanity, Genocide and War crimes.

Ramat Hasharon is a city located on Israeli's central coastal strip in the south of the Sharon region in the north of Tel Aviv.

On 13 Feb 2008, Paz the murderer stated to Israeli Radio "The roadblocks create a reality that encourages terrorism. We should study the usefulness and efficiency of these roadblocks relative to the costs they produce". As a typical psychopath, he conveniently forgot to mention that he is the criminal who invented and instituted these roadblocks in first place.

Major General) Yosef Mishlav. He is an Israeli Druze criminal general in the Israel Defense Forces. Criminal Yosef Mishlav was born in Israel in 1952.

November 1970: Major General Mishlav enlisted in the IDF, and held a series of senior positions in the Army, among them, he killed, murdered, and humiliate the Palestinians in the occupied territories.

He was rewarded for his war crimes and became - battalion commander, reserve brigade commander, Bethlehem Brigade Commander, Jordan Valley Brigade Commander.

In Bethlehem, the Palestinians still remember the ugly criminal Yosef Mishlav. In his relation to with the Jews, Meshlav was a Zionist more than the Jews themselves. He was a sadistic commander who insulted the Palestinians, specially the educated people. 2001, he served as GOC Homefront Command. 2003, because of his nasty and Zionist behavior, and after thousands of Palestinians were jailed, murdered, and insulted by Meshlav, he was appointed as Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.

Meshlav used his position as Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, to starve the Palestinians in their homeland. Meshlav denied the humanitarian aid to reach the Palestinian cities during the Intifada. He lead the war against the sick people who suffered of cancer, kidney, and other serious diseases, and who needed treatment which could only be had outside of the Palestinian cities. He uses his power to extort spy services from all Palestinians in need.

Some of the other criminal positions wich Meshlav held: Deputy commander of West Bank Division, this mean that he was the head of the spies at the (DCO) office, deputy commander of IDF war Forces in Lebanon. Southern Command Chief Staff, this mean that he was the (a war criminal, who is involved in the murder of Palestinians) deputy Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, this mean that he was in charge of demolishing houses, confiscating Palestinian lands. and in his last position, commander of the Edom Formation.

Colonel Baruch Nagar is an extremist member of the right wing party of Likud, Nagar entertains notions of Jewish racial superiority. He lives in Petah Tikva, north-east of Tel Aviv. Nagar speaks Arabic fluently. One of his sons is an archeologist and helps furthering the genocide against Palestinians through his work with the “Civil Administration” in the West Bank, where he falsifies the history of the geographic area in order to fit the political wants and needs of the occupation.Baruch Nagar was the military governor of the Palestinian city Ramallah from 1991 to 1995. During his time as a governor there he brutally beat four Palestinians; he was “convicted” in one of these cases. After Ramallah, Colonel Nagar was appointed to the post of military governor of Hebron in July 1995. He replaced Colonel Shalom Goldstein in this position. During his stay in Hebron, Baruch kept his relationship with me on polite, almost friendly terms. This was because of his fear that I would expose his crimes in the press. His attitude was that of a coward, scared of anyone who would dare to speak out about his crimes. He obviously knew that what he did was wrong and criminal, but he did it nonetheless, taking special care in not awakening “unnecessary resistance”. During his time as a governor of Hebron, Nagar imposed extended curfews on the Palestinians of the city. Under the curfews which he imposed, many children died at the checkpoints because the soldiers under his command had orders to not let people in need of medical assistance pass. Fuad Halhal, an officer under the command of Nagar, took part in the massacre of Jenin in March of 2002. The activity of Baruch Nagar during and after his military assignments constitute clear and direct breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 12.August 1949 and other statutes of international law. As such he is liable to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and genocide.Some cases which illustrate Nagar’s criminal activities follow:

In April 1998, Fadwa Al Adam, a Palestinian woman from Beit Aula, lost her baby at the Israeli checkpoint north of Hebron.

On 25 August 1998, Hanan Al-Hadad who lived near the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba lost her child as a result of the curfew. The IDF soldiers under the command of Nagar did not allow Al-Hadad to go to the hospital to deliver her child. She was also not allowed to bury her child at the Muslim cemetery. Mrs. Al-Hadad buried her child in front of her house. After this incident was published, Colonel Nagar and his assistant, Colonel Amnon Cohen, offered Mrs. Abu Hadad’s husband a permit to work in Israel as a “compensation” for the death of their child.

1997: Mrs. Jameleh Al-Sarahneh lost her child at Bani Neam checkpoint after she denied was denied passage to go and deliver the child at the hospital.

1997: Mrs. Fayzeh Al-Nawaja lost her child at Yatta checkpoint.

1997: The old woman Um Mahmoud Ayesh from Al-Fawwar refugee camp died at the Israeli checkpoint before the camp after she was not allowed by the soldiers under command of Baruch Nagar to go to the hospital in Hebron.

Baruch Nagar introduced this method of genocide to the occupation, namely denying people access to health services.

Colonel Nagar issued hundreds of demolition orders for Palestinian houses. The names of some of the victims are Subhi Al-Karaki, Ahmad Al-Rajabi, Azmi Ata Al-Salaimeh, Muhammad Mustafa Jaber, Omar Arif Al-Rajab … and there are many more in articles in Arabic which I have written in the past.

Colonel Baruch Nagar himself headed the destruction of hundreds of artesian wells belonging to Palestinians in Hebron and surrounding.

He denied the Palestinian families who live in Al-Baka, near the Kiryat Arba settlement, permission to renew any kind of construction

Under his responsibility sick people were not allowed to travel for medical treatment in Jerusalem. (see the Arabic article).

Under his responsibility the Palestinians suffered shortage of water. Baruch Nagar was against the presence of the TIPH, the Temporary International Presence in Hebron. Nagar said in a press statement, that the TIPH are not useful in Hebron: “It is clear from their mandate that they are in the city to serve the Palestinians. My task was to limit the damage they cause . . . There was no chance that they would prove useful to us.” In practice, according to Nagar, the TIPH served as “a factor that greatly interfered. Their activities very much limited the IDF and the Jewish residents.” Translated, his double-speak means that Nagar viewed the TIPH, despite their nonexistent role as mediators, as a hindrance to ethnic cleansing and other measures of genocide against the Palestinian population. Baruch Nagar served in Hebron until 31 January 1999. In February 1999, Nagar’s assistant Colonel Amnon Cohen replaced him as a governor of Hebron. Since June 2001, Baruch Nagar heads the Division of Water and Sewage of the Israeli Water Commission in the occupied territories and Gaza. This means that Baruch Nagar is effectively in charge of stealing the Palestinian water, which is The Israeli Water Commission and the military administration of the territories dug 500 wells along the Green Line separating the West Bank from Israel and along the Gaza-Israel northern borders. The wells are operated 18 hours daily drawing enormous amount of water from the Western and North-Eastern aquifers. The water is transferred to Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and to Israel proper. Baruch Nagar and the Israeli authorities have wrecked existing Palestinian networks in the cities of Bethlehem and Hebron and diverted most of the water allocated to these cities to Israeli settlements in the area. As one example of the genocidist policies implemented by Nagar, the illegal settlement in Hebron, where an estimated 500-600 persons live, receive more water than the rest of the 140.000 Palestinians inhabitants of the city of Hebron. Also under the responsibility of Nagar, the illegal settlement of Ma’on often cuts off the water of the town of Yatta near Hebron, with a population of about 20.000, in order to fill their swimming pool, or “just for fun”. ِ Under Nagar’s responsibility, Israel is in control of 81% of all water resources in the West Bank, while the Palestinians suffered continued shortages of water. This theft has left Palestinian farmers unable to do farming, and Palestinian cities and villages under continued shortages of water.

The War Criminal Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky is 51 years old. He was born in Israel. Kaplinsky is a veteran of previous Lebanon campaigns.

Kaplinsky is a psychopath from the Golani Bigade and a war criminal who was involved in murdering civilians during the war against Lebanon in Syria and in Lebanon as a commander of ground troops.

In 1982 Kaplinsky was appointed commander of the Golani reconnaissance unit. He took part in the Lebanon invasion against the PLO organizations, and he was wounded lightly in that war.

1990-1993, Kaplinsky was a commander of Golani unit and the Hermon Regional Brigade, two units of psychopaths involved in war crimes in the south of Lebanon.

Under the command of war criminal Kaplinsky, the Israeli military dropped more than 3.5 million cluster bombs in the last three days of the war in Lebanon.

Kaplinsky ordered his soldier to drop cluster bombs on southern Lebanon after Israel had already agreed to withdraw from Lebanon under a UN cease-fire resolution. This is a clear case of commission of grave crimes of war.

Up to one million bomblets did not explode but rather remain scattered in homes, fields, trees, and schools, waiting to be set off by any civilian passing by.

By 22 April 2007, 30 people were killed and 203 injured by cluster bombs left over from the war.
